Abstract
"Matrix training is the orderly arrangement of learning opportunities, structured in a manner to promote the development of untrained relations. Previous research has demonstrated the effectiveness of matrix training across a variety of skills including preposition usage (Mineo & Goldstein, 1990), sociodramatic play (Dauphin, Kinney, & Stromer, 2004), objects and location identification (Nigam, Olmi, & Saunders, 2006), use of syntactic rules (Goldstein, Angelo, & Mousetis, 1987), spelling (Kinney, Vedora, & Stromer, 2003) and American Sign Language (ASL; Remington, Watson, & Light, 1990; Light 1990). When properly designed, matrix training appears to be efficient tool for practitioners because it promotes acquisition of untaught relations following the training of some relations."
